The c. N. G.-June 7th at New Haven.

The c. N. G.-June 7th at New Haven. The appointments of Captain James Mo ran, Company A, Third regiment (New Lon don), Second Lieutenant George H. Wilkin son, Company K, Second regiment (Walling for0 and Second Lieutenant William H. Schildge, Company G, First regiment South Manchester), are revoked and they are dis charged from the military service of the State, the two first named for failing to pass satisfactory examination and the last for not reporting to the board when ordered and failing to present satis- factory excuse for this neglect. Commanding vacancies created as above.
 The last General Assembly passed an act authorizing the Governor to suspend the May parade of the Connecticut National Guard and instead order the entire brigade to New Haven to participate in the ceremonies at tending the dedication of the soldiers and sailors monument at East Rock June 17th. However, in accordance with the general de- sire not to abandon the usual May parade of the companies it was decided not to change the usual custom in this respect and the com panies were all ordered out for field day last month. The various organizations were in- vited to volunteer to parade in New Haven and It IS un0erstooo that all companies and platoens have complied. In orders issued on Saturday General Camp orders out the en- tire brigade for the New Haven celebration. The brigade staff, the field staff and bands of each battalion of infantry and the captain and battery non-commissioned officers of Battery A are to be paid regular pay for the duty, and the State will also allow pay and forage for horses used by platoons of artillery and machine gun platoon. Transportation for the above and also for companies of in- fantry and platoons will be furnished by the quartermaster general on approved requisi- ton therefor. Transportation will be allow ed only for regular members of the organiza- tions parading in uniform. Transportation of horses will be furnished from hsadquar- ters of organizations. AS soon as arrange ments for transportation are perfected the quartermaster-ge general is to notify command ing officers the time of leaving their respec- tive stations.

FAIR HAVEN,
A Large Borough Meeting Last Night 1
 -Four Mills Taxed-Death of MT. l

A Large Borough Meeting Last Night -Four Mills Taxed-Death of MT. Ira Darling.
 There was very large attendance at the borough meeting which was held at the en- zine house last evening, over one hundred people being present. The house was packed full, as good many people seemed to think that there would be some controversy over the police appropriation. There were no disputes of any consequence, however, and almost everyone was satisfied with what was done. Deacon Willis Hemingway presided at the meeting and it was voted to lay 4-mill tax. This will be sufficient to raise $4, 900. About $2 ,000 of this will be devoted to the police department. Last year the tax was 315 mills and the additional half mill was voted last night for the use of the fire de-
 pertinent provided that department needs it..
 There was no other business before the meet
 ing and it was adjourned.
 The news has reached Fair Haven that MT.
 Ira Darling, who lived on the heights, is
 dead, having died at the hospital in Roehes-
 ter, NY. MT. Darling went to the Massa-
 chusetts State hospital at Boston at the ad-
 vice of Dr. Bacon and from there he went to
 the hospital in Rochester. He had suffered
 from @ cancer for some time.
 Tomorrow night the dairymaids' festival
 will begin.
